I was on a Business trip to Albany NY this week. I got 15 mins between meetings to run around and take some snaps. My hotel was very near the Egg which is a concert hall I believe. It looks like a UFO from all angles . I like the contrasts in this shot. The curve of the Egg and the striaight edges of the other buildings

When I took this image at Atlantis Sea World in Riverhead, New York all I could think of was the Rolling Stones tune “Sympathy For The Devil”.
I originally started following Devon on Instagram and was amazed at his images. After realizing he also had a WordPress site and viewing his work I quickly contacted him and asked if he would contribute to Monochomia. I strongly suggest you visit his site to view his work.

This is an old photo. But I really love the mood created by this bridge.
Some say the grass is always greener on the other side. They were right in this case – there’s a golf course on the other side. LOL
My name is Devon and I grew up in Calgary, Alberta but I now live in Toronto, Ontario. Although I miss the mountains and the west coast I don’t think they don’t figure into my favorite subject matter. I live to take late night architectural, cityscape and street photography. I very rarely shoot during the day as I feel a special affection for the city at night.
I am rather a late comer to the world of photography I have only been actively and enthusiastically shooting for the last couple years or so. Prior to taking up photography I had hardly even used the camera on my phone. A chance trip to Iceland really ignited my interest in this hobby and art-form as I found myself monopolizing my travel partner’s camera, much to their chagrin.
Shooting in Black and White at night is a special challenge, finding a balance between bright artificial light and deep dark shadows. Monochrome can expose people to the places they inhabit every day in a way they have rarely seen before. It can also strip familiar places of their identity allowing me to create a new and mysterious streetscape.
I hope you enjoy my images, thank you. If you would like to see more of my work please visit my website – here or on Instagram – devon_mac

It was our local vicars last day at work last Sunday. Such a wonderful guy. He lives locally so we’ll still see him occasionally. I wish him and his family all the very best.
